MIT Moves Away From Massive Lecture Halls

Posted by timothy on from the at-that-tuition-it-should-be-massage-tutoring dept.

eldavojohn writes "The New York Times is reporting on MIT's migration away from large lectures as many colleges and universities have. Attendance at these lectures often falls to 50 percent by the end of the semester. TEAL (Technology Enhanced Active Learning) gives the students a more hands on approach and may signal the death of the massive lecture hall synonymous with achieving a bachelors of science."

    Cornell is like the easiest Ivy to get into. It's practically a State School. So, it maintains its "standard" by making it as hard academically and psychologically to graduate from. I didn't make it past freshman year from social and psychological breakdown.
